Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is found that human infants acquire language effectively by utilizing learning biases such as a shape bias and a mutual exclusivity bias, etc.. In this study we explore whether those biases emerge in learning process of artificial infant agent which forms concepts based on its own experiences. We model an intelligent agent by implementing a learning method, which is derived from the assumption that an agent has consistent beliefs in communication, and investigate experiments. Our simulation results show that an infant agent develops learning biases and comes to acquire language more efficiently.
